Messing with Peacock Bass

chut03

Threw the camera at the peacock bass. My brother caught both of them, and we released them immediately afterwards. They never even touched land. After release they both went back to their nest. If you look closely in the video, you can see that the eggs are stuck to the pipe. We also caught a fair amount of largemouth as well.

Good stuff. Always good to get them back to their best ASAP. I usually only take one fish off a bed and leave the other. Can't stand seeing pictures from guys holding up 5-6 peacock bass that they keep in their live well all day for a picture. That shows no respect IMO. Good to see you give them respect as well

Way cool. Those things look like colorful grouper.
